After having no door cards at all for several years, I've finally gone soft & have fitted some door cards purchased from Germany a long time ago, which I never got around to fitting. 

 

I had to dremmel slots for the door handles, which they didn't incorporate (very un-German like!). It comes with looped handles (not fitted yet).

 

Luxurious it is not, practical & light it is. It also comes with foam tape, which should stop the thing vibrating & driving me mad on track.

...currently off, making some revisions, as the sun melted the bloody velcro.  Jack nuts it is!  :)  Also, I'm extending the hole for the handle further down so you can use it more easily.

I like yours, Steve. Your door handle pull looks neat. Mine is purely functional & basic by comparison. It too has a door opener like yours.

I have a cable from near the original handle to the mechanism so you can push, pull, tug anywhere along it to open the door.
